LOCAL BRIEF
WILKES-BARRE Prosecu-
tors say the case of a juvenile
charged with firing a gun in an
October 2010 incident should be
heard in Luzerne County Court
as an adult case not juvenile
because of the 17-year-olds ac-
tions.
Assistant District Attorney
Matthew Muckler said in court
papers filed Wednesday that the
21 charges brought against Tho-
mas Otto of Hanover Township
should be heard in adult court
because of his callous actions
during the crime and his show-
ing of little remorse and crimi-
nal sophistication.
Otto was charged in the Oct. 9
incident after police said two
shots were fired in the direction
of Jonathan Dietrich. Police say
the shooting followed an earlier
altercation between the two and
that the shots missed Dietrich.
Muckler said one of the bul-
lets, however, entered the near-
by home of Kelli and Damian
Blum, striking a highchair at
around 5:30 a.m.
Fortunately, their 1-year-old
son, KaidenBlum, was not inthe
chair for breakfast at the time,
Muckler wrote.
Otto was charged on Jan. 11
with aggravated assault, reck-
less endangerment, simple as-
sault and a firearms charge.
Ottos attorneys, Christopher
ODonnell and Cheryl Sobeski
Reedy, said in court papers filed
earlier this year that their cli-
ents case should be heard in ju-
venile court because he was 16
years old at the time of the of-
fense, he is a proper subject for
treatment while in the court sys-
tem because of his age, mental
capacity and maturity and he is
in need of a program of supervi-
sion, care and rehabilitation he
couldonlyreceive inthe juvenile
system.
The Luzerne County Juve-
nile Court Systemhas adequate,
appropriate and effective facili-
ties for the treatment of (Otto),
the attorneys wrote. The inter-
est of public safety can be in-
sured by the Juvenile Justice
System.
A hearing is scheduled for
Sept. 6 for a county judge tohear
arguments and possibly make a
decision.
Muckler said in court papers
Otto has a troubled record
fromschool, as well as a number
of summary citations.
Muckler said that during the
original altercation with Die-
trich, Otto showed a revolver
and went as far as cocking the
gun. He said that after the shoot-
ing, Otto showed little re-
morse and a callous disposi-
tion, and showed no fear or
sympathy.
Muckler said testimony he
will present at the Sept. 6 hear-
ing includes truancy in school,
summary citations andpolice of-
ficers who will testify to Ottos
criminal sophistication beyond
what a normal 17-year-old has.
Psychiatrist Richard Fisch-
bein will also testify, Muckler
said.
DA seeks adult court in teen gun case
A shot fired by Thomas Otto
entered a home, striking a
highchair, police say.

PITTSTON A woman ac-
cused by Avoca police of leaving
five children unattended while
she patronized a tavern waived
her right to a preliminary hear-
ing before District Judge Fred
Pierantoni III on Wednesday.
Amy Williams, 36, of Costello
Circle, Avoca, waived five
counts of endangering the wel-
fare of children, and one count
each of driving under the influ-
ence and disorderly conduct to
Luzerne County Court.
Police allege five children
were found unsupervised at
Williams residence on July 10.
Williams was found at a tavern
and allegedly returned to her
residence while driving a vehi-
cle while intoxicated, according
to the criminal complaint.
KINGSTON TWP. A man
accused by Kingston Township
police of secretly recording a
woman recently waived his
right to a preliminary hearing
before District Judge James
Tupper.
Scott Weber, 42, of West
Church Street, Nanticoke,
waived a single count of in-
vasion of privacy to Luzerne
County Court.
Police withdrew a second
count of invasion of privacy
against Weber.
Weber is accused of using an
iPod he hid within a bathroom
of a residence on East Center
Street to record a woman while
she was showering from March
to May, according to the crimi-
nal complaint.
Police said in the criminal
complaint they recovered four
videos of the woman after show-
ering.

BUSES
Continued from Page 3A
for discontinuing the town hall
meetings. Barletta himself was crit-
ical of his 2010opponent, Paul Kan-
jorski, when the13-termDemocrat
refused to hold town hall meetings
last fall.
That being said, at that time
there was not a member of Con-
gress who was shot and people
killed at a town hall meeting, Bar-
letta said. The game has changed
significantly. We have been in-
structedtobe careful whenappear-
ing in public.
The town hall meetings became
non-productive, he said, and his
constituents were denied the op-
portunitytodiscusstheir concerns.
The behavior of these protes-
ters has put myself, my staff andin-
nocent people in attendance at
risk, he said. Three days after I
was sworn in (in January), Rep.
Gabby Giffords of Arizona and 17
others were shot at a town hall
meeting six died including a 9-
year-old-girl.
During his first eight months in
Congress, Barlettasaid, hehas held
four town hall meetings in Lans-
ford, Wilkes-Barre Township,
Stroudsburg and Bloomsburg. He
said that after the town halls be-
came disruptive he has held nine
roundtable discussions with
groups representing health care,
education, higher education, small
business, hospital administration,
lawenforcement, agriculture, labor
and senior citizens.
He said he held a listening ses-
sion on transportation and infras-
tructure anda fieldhearingonedu-
cation and work force two com-
mittees he serves on in the House.
Barletta said he has also met with
the Scranton Labor Council, held a
gang awareness seminar at Penn
State Hazletoncampus andpartici-
pated in a joint public forum with
U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycom-
ing Township, at Kings College.
Earlier this month he spoke to
the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Commerceandwascriticizedbe-
causethepublic was not allowedto
attend. He said that decision was
madebythechamber, not him. Bar-
letta said he later met with protes-
ters outside the Westmoreland
Club and recently met with Rox-
anne Pauline, an organizer of the
protest. He has also conductedone
tele-townmeeting, met withLacka-
wanna County pharmacists and
has spoken to numerous civic and
community organizations.
Andthishasall beendoneinhas
been in my first eight months in of-
fice, Barletta said. We (members
of Congress) are in session three
weeks of every month and back in
thedistrict oneweekper month. Id
bewillingtocomparethat withany
public official as far as getting out
and meeting with people and tak-
ing questions.
Barletta said because his town
hall meetings became disruptive
with the threat of violence, he
looked for other ways to do his job.
He said he has not ruled out future
town hall meetings, but said there
is none scheduled at this time.
But Im not removing myself
from the people I represent, Bar-
letta said. This group (Move-
On.org) wants town hall meetings
so they can have a forum to dis-
rupt.
Barletta said at his recent town
hall meeting in Columbia County
he opened with an introduction
and was speaking for about five or
10 minutes when a woman jumped
and asked him, When are you go-
ingtoshut up?Barlettasaidothers
in the audience became upset and
challenged the protester.
That was not productive, he
said.
On Monday at the Hazleton Se-
nior Center, Barletta said, the pro-
testers included a videographer
from Massachusetts and another
fromNewYork.
BARLETTA
Continued from Page 1A
Josh Schwerin, Northeast Region-
al Press Secretary at the Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, issued a statement
regarding U.S. Rep. Lou Barlettas
decision to suspend holding town
hall meetings:
Rep. Barletta announced that he
will no longer give his constituents
the chance to hold him account-
able at public town hall meetings,
and at the same time announced
that he is running for reelection
so he can continue to push his
plan to end Medicare while pro-
tecting subsidies for Big Oil and
tax breaks for millionaires and
billionaires.
You cant make this stuff up.
Upset that his constituents have
come to his town halls to complain
about his plan to end Medicare,
Rep. Barletta is doing what any
career politician would do ban-
ning town halls and announcing
his campaign for re-election on
the platform of ending Medicare.
Rep. Barlettas refusal to listen to
his constituents and his obsession
with his agenda to end Medicare
while protecting subsidies for Big
Oil and tax breaks for millionaires
and billionaires will ensure that he
is looking for a new job come next
November.

Several Luzerne County As-
sessors Officeemployees areslat-
ed to receive $500 raises because
of a 2008 grievance settlement.
Commissioners had voted to
reclassify assessor employees
when the countywide reassess-
ment took effect in2009 to incor-
porate additional duties not cov-
ered under their traditional job
descriptions.
However, commissioners nev-
er increased their salaries as in-
tended by the 2008 settlement
agreement, saidcountyCommis-
sioner Stephen A. Urban.
County officials and the union
recently agreed on a one-time,
base-pay increase of $500 for
eight field investigators. These
workers collect data on newcon-
struction and evaluate informa-
tion on similar properties to cal-
culate assessed values.
The compensation for county
field investigators starts around
$22,000, records show. The most
veteran investigator is paid more
than $30,000 but has worked for
the county since 1988, records
show.
Urban and Commissioner
Thomas Cooney approved the
pay increase during Tuesdays
commissioner meeting. Urban
saidthese workers must undergo
training, and their experience
andskills are neededbecause the
county will eventually perform
the next reassessment in-house.
Commissioners alsomust hon-
or their 2008 agreement, he said.
The upgrade was approved,
but it never took place. I dont
want toappoint anarbitrator and
spend money on lawyers for
something I think were going to
lose, Urban said.
Commissioner Chairwoman
Maryanne Petrilla voted against
the award. She said she believes
the assessor workers deserve an
increase, but so do others.
Petrilla said the county should
not reclassify until it can provide
raises as needed throughout the
county government work force.
With all the layoffs, we have
so many employees who have
steppedupto the plate andtaken
on more responsibilities without
an increase in compensation,
Petrilla said.
The assessor increases wont
take effect until they are ap-
proved by the county salary
board, officials said. The three
commissioners and controller
serve onthat board, anda county
assessment appeal board mem-
ber will be eligible to cast a fifth
vote.

LIU OKs 2 service pacts

Its a stark reminder of how small
we actually are.
Steve Bekanich
The Luzerne County Emergency Management
Agency director commented on the earthquake that
shook the region Tuesday.
Social service network
needed to aid families
A
s summer winds down, thoughts turn
to how people will cope with colder
weather. Families need to rely on the
safety valve of government for such basic
needs as food and shelter. There has al-
ways been a comfort that certain programs
would be available, such as LIHEAP for
warmth and FEMA for food and shelter.
While such programs may still be
around, they are no longer likely at the
financial level present years ago. This
means more pressure on local agencies to
meet the needs of families in distress.
There is no shortage of agencies and
organizations designed to be of maximum
assistance to meet the emotional and phys-
ical needs of families. There is a shortage
of funds, and that needs to be met through
a variety of means in coming months. The
work of social service agencies is as impor-
tant today as any other time in the regions
history. There are many examples found in
all corners of regional life.
Here is one. Consider a family that
found itself suddenly without a job for the
major income producer. The spouse was
taking care of two youngsters, but it be-
came necessary for her to find some work
and bring some income, yet she had to
make sure that the two children would
have appropriate care. The family decided
to come to the office of Jewish Family
Service and a staff member met, discussed
the situation, and gave advice. Part of the
discussion revolved around what type of
job could be found for the husband, the
best solution for care of the children, and
what type of budgeting would best meet
the needs of the family in the short term.
In still many other cases, there are many
older adults finding themselves in posi-
tions of uncertainty, and their children
becoming older adults themselves want
to find caregivers, at least part time, for
their parents. Jewish Family Service has
received many calls of this nature.
These examples are not going away. If
anything, they are increasing, and the
many nonprofit agencies within Luzerne,
Wyoming, and adjacent counties need the
support and commitment that will enable
them to be available to respond to family
emergencies.
Governments are in deep financial trou-
bled waters. While programs still exist,
they cannot possibly cover all that is need-
ed. Therefore, more than in prior eras, a
social service partnership needs to be
found that truly brings together the pri-
vate, public and nonprofit sectors to ad-
dress the adverse financial conditions
facing many individuals and families
across this region.
The term social network or social
media has been used to describe new
electronic communications such as twit-
ter, Facebook, and other techniques. There
is a need to form a creative social network
of agencies and organizations within the
region to focus attention on the best ways
to assist families in need. In this way, a
more effective system can be found to
benefit the people of the Pocono-North-
east.

WAS I THE only one who
thought it a little strange
when Lou Barletta, a feder-
al legislator, took credit for
a state grant funding a
Pittston project?
The $3 million comes
from the state Redevelopment Assistance
Capital Program (RACP), run by the Office
of the Budget. When I called about the pro-
gram, I was told that, yes, it is 100 percent
state, no federal involvement whatsoever.
Yet it was Washington Rep. Barletta who
announced this Harrisburg grant, which will
go toward construction of a $6.45 million
retail and office building. Barletta even took
credit. His spokesman, Shawn Kelly, said
Lou wrote letters and called Gov. Tom Cor-
bett in support of the grant. The project is
worth it, Barletta said, and I quote:
Im proud to have played a role in securi-
ng funding.
When Barletta visited The Times Leader
Monday, I asked about this. Lou drew a
legitimate difference between being on the
RACP list and actually seeing the dough.
The part about RACP money is getting it
released. Its not getting it appropriated, its
getting it released, Barletta said. I believe I
helped by being a pain in the back, calling,
telling (Corbett) how important it is as a
mayor. I felt in my heart that my assistance
played a role.
Sounds reasonable, except the money had
already been released 10 months ago,
according to an Aug. 4 letter from state
Office of the Budget Secretary Charles B.
Zogby to Pittston Redevelopment Authority
Director Gerald Mullarkey. Zogby wrote:
As you are well aware, on Oct. 29, 2010
and Nov. 19, 2010, Governor Rendell autho-
rized the release of a total of $3 million in
Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program
funding for the Pittston Main Street pro-
ject.
So how could it be released twice by two
different governors?
Zogbys letter notes the grant agreement
for the RACP funding was not fully executed
prior to Jan. 18, 2011 Corbetts inaugu-
ration. After that, the governors office start-
ed reviewing all similar RACP releases
from the prior administration.
Corbett had every right to stall unexecut-
ed grants. He could have let the process
already under way just continue, and eight
months seems pretty sluggish for the release
of money already released, but it was his
right.
And Barletta is hardly the first politician
to take credit for a grant he had no direct
hand in rewarding. This one felt like a
stretch that would stress Gumby, but his
claim may be valid.
I find ita bit curious that such a rigorous
proponent of deep government cuts and
balanced budgets would so easily embrace
RACP spending on a building that has no
guaranteed tenants. Heres why:
RACP started with $400 million in 1986.
The amount was increased nine times under
four governors, hitting $4.05 billion in 2010
under Rendell. Talk about government
growth
And its borrowed money. Each time the
amount rose, the law was changed to in-
crease the commonwealths General Obli-
gation borrowing authority, according the
Office of the Budget website.
Barletta said he feels the project is worth-
while; it probably is. One question, though.
If they struggle to fill it and it becomes a
government-funded white elephant, will Lou
be as quick to take some blame?

HE ARAB Spring in
the Middle East and
North Africa contin-
ues to flower despite
setbacks and dictators willing
to massacre their own people.
In the latest sign this season
will not pass quickly or meekly,
Libyan rebels have taken con-
trol of parts of thecapital cityof
Tripoli, and seem prepared to
end42 years of despotic rule by
Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
The leader of the Libyan op-
position National Transition
Council, formed in February as
the face of the revolution, de-
clared Monday that the Gad-
hafi era is over. Most hearten-
ing is that young people are de-
manding a voice in Libya and
elsewhere. As Internet connec-
tions came back up Monday af-
ter a six-month blackout, the
Libya Youth Movement was
posting Twitter updates.
This is a case in which the
United States, working
through the international com-
munity and NATO, was able to
make a difference, taking mea-
sures short of ground troops to
prevent massacres, providing
the time and space for the Li-
byan people to take matters in-
to their own hands.
Libyans, the United States
and the larger international
community have been atten-
tive to the lessons of Iraq, par-
ticularly avoiding a power vac-
uuminthe aftermathof the col-
lapse of a dictatorial regime.
The Libyan Transitional Na-
tional Council has done exten-
sive post-conflict planning
from how to maintain law and
order to resuming oil produc-
tiontowhat todoabout former
Gadhafi officials. The council
hopes to move to parliamen-
tary elections in the next six to
eight months. It has secured
loans from Turkey, Qatar, the
United Arab Emirates and Ku-
wait to pay for essentials.
An International Contact
Group on Libya with officials
from the United States, Great
Britain, Italy, Turkey and other
nations has met four times
since April, working with op-
position leaders to draw de-
tailed plans in preparation for
Gadhafis fall. While Western
nations cant and shouldnt dic-
tate the leadership of Arab
countries, they can lend sup-
port to citizens trying to topple
despots. Thats the new doc-
trine of the U.S. and European
response to the Arab Spring, a
refreshing change from poli-
cies of the past. Thats some-
thing to celebrate, along with
the aspirations of Libyans who
yearn for a more open and egal-
itarian government.

OTHER OPINION: REVOLUTION
A spring season
spreads its roots
O
K, WE ADMIT it.
Were earthquake
wimps, tremor mil-
quetoasts, seismic
pansies.
Rattle a few points on the
Richter at us and we crumble
like a sandcastle. Evacuate the
buildings, sendeveryonehome,
clog the phone lines
in panic seeking reas-
surance.
Its true: Tuesdays
trembler would have
made West Coast de-
nizens yawn, if they
noticed it at all. We
can almost hear the
San Franciscans: 5.8? Around
here, we call that a massage!
(Actually, being so far from
the epicenter, our experience
was milder. ThePPLnukeplant
near Berwick registered about
3.5).
So maybe we overreacted,
but can you blame us? In these
parts, suchtectonic shifts are as
rare as polite political cam-
paigns. We know floods (oh
boy, do we know floods). We
can shovel our way out of any
blizzard (cursing, but still shov-
eling). Heck, we even know
what a tornado tastes like, de-
spite their relative infrequency.
But an earthquake?
The novelty took us by sur-
prise. The last time so many
light poles swayed in Wilkes-
Barre, it was because they were
falling down from age and ne-
glect The onlywayearthmoves
around here is
with bulldozers
and backhoes.
Were not so
much wimpy as
we are uninitiated.
Our natural disas-
ters tend to rise
from the water-
ways or fall from the sky, not
bellow deep beneath our feet.
Well, nowwere not so green,
nowwe knowthe difference be-
tween an earthquake and a
piece of heavy equipment rum-
bling past. Well inspect some
buildings andbridges andmove
on, grateful this rare event was
as tame as all that. And, frankly,
wecanevenfeel atingeof pride.
After all, we are no longer
earthquake neophytes.
SanFranciscans, onthe other
hand, have yet to plowout from
under a blizzard

Leighton said there are no im-

ibility to make such administra-
tive decisions during the life of

since 2006. The reports states
those taxes came on top of the
billions of dollars of infrastruc-
ture investments, royalty pay-
ments and permit fees paid by
the industry.
Shale panel report cited
Cawley discussed the Marcel-
lus Shale Advisory Commission
Report that was released earlier
this year. He called the report
the first steptowarddeveloping
a comprehensive and strategic
plan for responsible natural gas
drilling in Pennsylvania.
The report contains 96 policy
recommendations that include
tougher regulations for drilling,
doublingfines for violations, cre-
ating jobs in related industries
andpromoting the use of natural
gas vehicles.
Its certainly not the end all,
be all, Cawley told The Times
Leader Editorial Board. We will
constantly be vigilant toward
this industry.
Cawley said ensuring public
safety and the safety of the envi-
ronment are always at the top of
any priority list. He said he fa-
vors the involvement of more
science in the process and in-
creasing the number of state in-
spectors. He said he would also
support putting an additive in
frackingwater totrace the origin
in the event of any problems.
The more truth we have will
separate the fact from the fic-
tion, he said. We can continue
to beat the table andsay we need
a severance tax. But the reality is
if an employer was looking to lo-
cate to my town with the prom-
ise of say 50 to100 jobs over a 20-
to 30-year period, we would look
for incentives to offer them. We
have seen more than 70,000 new
jobs here in Pennsylvania in the
gas industry most paying
around$70,000 per year. Andwe
expect many more jobs to
come.
Cawley said some of the key
recommendations the panel
made to Gov. Corbett would:
Provide stronger regula-
tions for drilling.
Toughen penalties for viola-
tors.
Promote the states energy
independence.
Protect public safety and
health.
Create jobs for Pennsylva-
nians.
Redistricting and politics
Talking about the redrawing
of boundary lines for state Sen-
ate and House districts and fed-
eral congressional seats, Cawley
said the process needs to be
completedbythe endof the year.
We certainly need it done by
the first date to begin circulating
nominating petitions, he said.
The western part of the state
is expected to lose a seat in Con-
gress and that will cause some
restructuring of districts
throughout the commonwealth,
Cawley said.
He saidhe was certainthat the
Republican Party will see candi-
dates come forward to challenge
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey in 2012.
You might see some non-tra-
ditional candidates, Cawley
said. By that I mean they may
not be current office holders.
Later in the day Cawley
toured Cleveland Brothers
Equipment, a distributor of Ca-
terpillar vehicles, parts and ser-
vice, where many jobs have been
added due to the Marcellus
Shale industry.
Natural gas is already provid-
ing thousands of jobs for Penn-
sylvania, Cawley said. You can
see it right here at Cleveland
Brothers. They may not be drill-
ing here, but jobs are being cre-
ated here in Wilkes-Barre and
across the state.
ClevelandBrothers is a family-
owned company that has been
doing business in the state since
1937. It currently employs more
than1,100statewide andis grow-
ingbecause of the needfor heavy
equipment in the natural gas in-
dustry, Cawley said.
To those who say Marcellus
Shale is not benefiting Pennsyl-
vania, I say come to Wilkes-
Barre and see for yourself, he
said. Pennsylvanians are find-
inggoodjobs, andnot just onthe
drilling rigs.

crash.
Madry was an honors student
at CrestwoodHighSchool, where
he played lacrosse. He was enter-

wrestler at Crestwood and about
to enter his junior year.
A memorial was held in the
Wright Township Recreation

Fredmund was charged with
twocounts of accidents involving
death and a single count of hom-
icide by vehicle, all felonies, and
summary counts of reckless driv-
ing, underage drinking and driv-
ing without a license.
Luzerne County Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Mary Phillips said
during Wednesdays hearing be-
fore Juvenile Court Judge David
Lupas that Fredmund did not
have a drivers license.
Madrys family was present at
the hearing. They declined to
comment after the proceeding.
Attorney William Anzalone,
whorepresents theMadryfamily,
didnot returna message for com-
ment on Wednesday.
Although Fredmund cooperat-
ed with investigators and volun-
tarily surrendered himself, Phil-
lips requestedthat hebedetained

scheduled on Aug. 31.
There are very serious allega-
tions involved here, Lupas
noted, ordering Fredmund into
the custody of juvenile probation
officers.
Fredmund was escorted out of
the courthouse andwas placedin
a juvenile detention center in

Tuesdays quake can shatter the
barriers we put up.
People on the East Coast are
not used to the idea of the earth
shaking underneath them, he
said. Its something thats total-
ly out of their control. Know-
ing that something like that can
happen here in Pennsylvania, it
can cause anxiety and uncertain-
ty.
For most, checking on loved
ones and swapping quake sto-
ries with others was enough to
cope, but for those already strug-
gling with anxiety or post trau-
matic stress the impact of the
tremors couldlinger longer, Pao-
lucci said.
For some, the quake may have
had a slight physiological effect
as well. As Paolucci explained:
Some people go on a boat and
not have any problem with it;
some people get on a boat and
after five minutes theyre throw-
ing up or they cant stand up
straight. With an earthquake
you have the same thing; the
ground is moving beneath you.
Not ready to react
Unprepared as we were, many
of us didnt know what to do
when things started to rattle.
Though she admitted being
surprised as anyone else, Red
Cross of Wyoming Valley spo-
keswoman Amy George criti-
cized the reaction of those who
fled for the door the moment
they felt tremors.
(Do) not run outside; thats
not one of the things we recom-
mend, George said. I know a
lot of people did yesterday
(Tuesday), but thats not what
we recommend. We definitely
recommend that you stay inside
until the shaking stops.
Instead, the Red Cross recom-
mends those inside during an
earthquake duck beneatha desk,
table or other solid piece of fur-
niture and keep away from win-
dows and heavy objects that
could fall. If in bed when the
quake strikes, stay there. When
the shaking stops, head carefully
outside and move away from
buildings, streetlights and utili-
ty wires.
The Red Cross also recom-
mends having a disaster prepa-
redness kit with non-perishable
foods, bottled water, batteries, a
flashlight, radio, a change of
clothes and copies of important
documents, which might be use-
ful in any disaster.
More earthquake safety tips
are available on the Red Cross
and Pennsylvania Emergency
Management Agency websites.
Though she said county em-
ployees responded to the trem-
ors calmly and admirably, Lu-
zerne County Commissioner
Maryann Petrilla said the poten-
tial disaster highlighted a need
for the county to codify in writ-
ing its protocols for evacuating
county buildings in the case of
earthquakes and other danger-
ous events. The commissioners
will meet early next week with
the county Emergency Manage-
ment Agency and 911 directors,
county engineers and security
personnel to formulate a plan,
she said.
No serious damage
Petrilla said county Chief En-
gineer Joe Gibbons began in-
specting county buildings al-
most immediately after the
quake. Some cracks in columns
were found outside Penn Place,
but no serious structural dam-
age to that building, the cour-
thouse or other county proper-
ties was identified, Petrilla said.
State agencies continued to
searchfor signs of quake damage
Wednesday.
State Department of Trans-
portation spokesman James
May said the department is con-
ducting visual inspections of 85
bridges deemed highest priori-
ty, but it had found no signs of
damage Wednesday.
He expected those assess-
ments to wrap up this morning
in the District 4 region, which
consists of Luzerne, Lackawan-
na, Wyoming, Susquehanna,
Wayne and Pike counties, and
that the department plans to
have damage to all bridges
deemed highest priority state-
wide assessed today.
State Department of Environ-
mental Protection spokesman
Kevin Sunday said the depart-
ment is monitoring safety re-
views at four nuclear power
plants in the state, including
PPLs Susquehanna Nuclear
Power Plant in SalemTownship,
but that no damage has been
identified at those plants.
DEP had received no reports
of damage to natural gas drilling
operations, including well sites
and gathering lines, in the state
as of Wednesday.
Sunday said DEP would con-
tinue to monitor all facets of gas
drilling operations and to con-
tinue inspections of dams and
coal mines, as it does daily.

MINERAL, Va. (AP) Office build-
ings, schools and iconic American
landmarks were being inspected
Wednesday for possible structural
flaws caused by a rare East Coast
earthquake while those near the
epicenter nervously waited out
aftershocks.
Public schools and a handful of
federal government buildings in
Washington remained closed for
further assessment, and engineers
were taking a closer look at cracks
in the Washington Monument and
broken capstones at the National
Cathedral. Some residents of D.C.
suburbs were staying in shelters
because of structural concerns at
their apartment buildings.
Farther south, Tuesdays 5.8-
magnitude quake also shattered
windows and wrecked buildings
near its Virginia epicenter. There
were no known deaths or serious
injuries.
The earthquake has produced at
least four aftershocks.
The U.S. Geological Survey says
the aftershocks around the central
Virginia epicenter ranged in mag-
nitude from 4.2 to as little as 2.2
since the strongest earthquake to
strike the East Coast since World
War II.
Amy Vaughan, a geophysicist with
the National Earthquake Informa-
tion Center in Colorado, says the
number of aftershocks so far has
been remarkably low.
Vaughan says the agency isnt
sure what to expect, but its likely
there will be some more for days,
if not weeks. Typically, the larger
the quake, the longer and the
greater extent of aftershocks.

SCRANTON Lackawanna
County commissioners unani-
mously approved an architectu-
ral and engineering design con-
tract with Philadelphia-based
firm EwingCole on Wednesday
for renovations to PNC Field as
well as a real estate appraisal
contract for the surrounding
property.
The design contract states
that estimated construction
costs for improvements to the
22-year-old stadium and current
home to the Triple-A Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees will be
about $28.7 million. The firm
will be compensated $2,531,185
for the new design, which will
feature seats sloping to field lev-
el and an open concourse
around the park.
Arequest for proposals for the
design agreement was placed on
Nov. 24, 2010. Interviews were
conducted with two firms on
Dec. 21, when EwingCole was
selected.
Commissioners then waited
for $20 million in state funds to
be approved by Gov. Tom Cor-
bett, which occurred in May, be-
fore moving forward.
Not only did (EwingCole) do
the assessment, but they were
also retained by previous admin-
istrations to conduct work with
respect to the facility, so they
have a great deal of knowledge
about this facility, the history of
this facility, and our desire to re-
ally preserve the history of this
facility as we move on to what
will be a substantial renova-
tion, Commissioner Corey
OBrien said.
He said that in its earlier as-
sessment, the firm informed the
county that it would have to in-
vest at least $13 million in the fa-
cility within the next five years
just to have it up to code, includ-
ing $1.2 million already spent to
repair flood damage from 2009.
Commissioner Mike Washo
added that EwingCole had been
working on the stadium since
the early 1990s.
There were only two options.
Either two or three years down
the road, the league would just
take the team and wed be left
with a stadium with no team, or
we could work on some arrange-
ment to secure the future of
baseball here in the county,
OBrien said.
Washo addressed taxpayer
concerns with investing more
money in the stadium and de-
fended the commissioners rea-
soning for the project.
Having sold the franchise to
SWB Yankees LLC last year, he
credited the current contract
with Mandalay Baseball Proper-
ties LLC and Yankee Global En-
terprises LLC with keeping
baseball in the area for the next
30 years.
While some have criticized
Mandalays management,
Washo said it has had great suc-
cess in other cities, and with
the economic downturn, the
lack of regular giveaways are
probably due more to the econo-
my than Mandalay, as many
were previously funded by pri-
vate businesses who no longer
have the spare money.
The economy, he felt, has also
caused lower attendance, citing
other major cities that have seen
their stadium attendance down
during the last 10 years.
I think that a new stadium
with an open concourse plan
will go a long way toward insur-
ing a favorable level of attend-
ance and excitement, Washo
said.
He also noted the federal
fundingcouldnot be usedfor hu-
man services, such as libraries,
and the construction will pro-
vide additional local jobs over
the course of the renovations.
Design contract for PNC Field approved
Lackawanna County leaders
pick EwingCole, which has
done work on facility before.

An artists rendering of what PNC Field should look like after the
proposed changes in a plan OKd by Lackawanna commissioners.
Vale said.
Lackawanna County officials
haveatentativeagreement tosell
the franchise to the Yankees and
Mandalay Baseball Properties,
which manages the franchise, for
$14.6 million.
The authority would use the
sale proceeds as a local share to-
wards a $58 million to $62 mil-
lion project to rebuild PNCField.
The state pledged $20 million
and the Yankees would contrib-
ute the remainder.
Luzerne County is in a legal
dispute with Lackawanna Coun-
ty over the deal because Luzerne
Countycontributed$1millionto-
wards buying the franchise over
two decades ago and, according
to an agreement, is entitled to
half the proceeds if the franchise
is sold. Lackawanna County offi-
cials dont think Luzerne County
is entitled to any proceeds.
Attorney John McGee, a for-
mer authorityboardmember and
past authority solicitor, said
Vales proposal wouldtake care of
that problem.
McGeeoutlinedVales plan. He
said the authority would turn
over management rightstoanon-
profit organization that would be
formed specifically for that pur-
pose, andthenon-profit couldsell
the management rights to the in-
vestors.
The entity could consist of 17
members two members ap-
pointed by Lackawanna County,
two appointed by Luzerne Coun-
ty, and13 members of the public,
who would serve with term lim-
its. Those individuals at large
could be initially selected from a
committee to be chaired by local
college presidents, McGee said.
This communityorganization
would receive no funds from
the operationof the baseball fran-
chise because those monies
would be generated and retained
by the company that buys the
management rights, McGee
said. The stadium authority un-
der this proposal would transfer
the naked title of the franchise to
the community organization and
it would stipulate in the transfer
agreement that any sale of the
franchise in the future would
have to be approved by the stadi-
um authority, by the counties of
Lackawanna and Luzerne and by
the non-profit organization.
McGee believes the authority
could have the current manage-
ment agreement with Mandalay
voided because the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees had no
right to extend the management
contract by renewing the player
development contract with the
New York Yankees.
This and other claims will al-
lowyou to void the option agree-
ment, McGee said, and recom-
mended that the authority enter
mediation on the issue.
McGee also recommended the
board ask Lackawanna County
commissioners to do short-term
borrowingtofundthe start of sta-
dium rebuilding until the con-
tract with Mandalay is voided
and the investors can step in. He
said even if the authority lost in
mediation it could still sell the
franchise.
Authority Chairman James
Timlinsaidhe likes the idea of re-
taining local control of the fran-
chise and also believes the man-
agement contract heavily favors
Mandalay and the Yankees.
Still, he wouldnt commit sup-
port to the proposal until he had
time to digest it.
Luzerne County commission-
ers previously said they opposed
selling the franchise.
Luzerne County Commission-
er Steve Urban said he favors
keeping the franchise in the area,
but wants to hear how the plan
could benefit Luzerne County ci-
tizens other than keeping profes-
sional baseball in the region.
Efforts to reach Lackawanna
County commissioners Mike
Washo and Corey OBrien on
Wednesday night were unsuc-
cessful.
Vale saidanother benefit of the
proposal is that it would correct
some problems with current
management.
The New York Yankees really
havent run the team very well
with their Mandalay Partners.
Theyhavecomeonthesceneand
weve seen declining attendance.
Weve seen historic traditions of
the Yankees kindof beingthrown
out. They took down the donor
wall, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
symbol went out the door, Vale
said.
People think that our team
has a tradition and they felt like
they hadanownershiprole init. I
think the Yankees and Mandalay
deprivedus of that andI thinkwe
need to restore that, Vale said.

MOOSIC Just a few days ago, the
Yankees designated Gustavo Molina
for assignment. Heclearedwaivers and
was sent to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
andmade his presence felt inhis return
to the lineup.
Molina was 3-for-4 with a double, a
home runandthree RBI onWednesday
as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre defeated
Rochester 7-1.
Yeah, I felt good to come back after
not playing for a while, Molina said. I
sawtheball verywell todayandit was a
lot of fun.
The Yankees jumped out to an early
2-0leadinthebottomhalf of thefirst by
showing some discipline at the plate.
Chris Dickerson singled to left field to
start the game. Rochester starter Eric
Hacker then walked Kevin Russo and
Mike Lamb to load the bases with no-
body out in the inning.
Brandon Laird then struck out for
the first out. But withthe bases loaded,
Hacker walked Jordan Parraz and Ray
Kruml, allowing Dickerson and Russo
to walk home.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre added to its
lead in the bottom of the third. With
runners on first and second and one
out, Molina crushed an RBI double to
left-center field, allowing Laird to
score all the way from second base.
Doug Bernier then brought home
Kruml with an RBI single to left field
and Dickerson singled in Molina in the
next at bat making it a 5-0 Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre advantage.
The Yankee offense didnt stop at
five runs. Molina crushed a solo home
run to left field in the bottom of the
fifth, extending the lead to 6-0.
Rochester finally got on the board in
the top of the sixth on a Dustin Martin
solo blast. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
lead was 6-1 after six innings.
Parraz started the bottomhalf of the
seventh with a double to right field. He
then moved over to third on a Kruml
groundout. Luis Nunez then popped
up to second base for the second out of
the inning. However, Molina came

he rumbling started in the fifth
inning, signaling something wild
was about to happen.
By the bottom of the eighth, the
whole structure of the game started to
shake.
On a day the East Coast experienced
a rare earthquake, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees created an up-
heaval of their own.
And it could leave the rest of the
International League trembling.
Odds of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
making the league playoffs this year are
still about as favorable as an earth-
quake in Virginia causing tables to
sway in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
But the Yankees are mightily trying
to swing chances back to their side.
They showed such resolve Tuesday
while rallying back from a 4-1 deficit
against Rochester, then playing 12
innings to pull out a 5-4 victory.
In the process, they may have pulled
their postseason hopes from the rub-
ble.
You never know, Yankees third
baseman Brandon Laird said. Things
might work out.
It works out this way for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre. The Yankees sat 6
games out of the International Leagues
only wild card spot with 13 games to
play and needed to pass four teams to
secure it entering Wednesday.
That savvy old baseball guys say its
a feat to pick up a game a week in a
playoff race. The Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees have to erase a game
from their deficit every two days.
Somehow, they believe its still pos-
sible to play beyond the regular season.
Especially with six of those remaining
games against IL North-leading Paw-
tucket, which holds a 6-game cushion
over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
If youre not mathematically elim-
inated, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre manag-
er Dave Miley said, you can do any-
thing.
Anything appears possible if the
Yankees keep playing the way they did
Tuesday.
Their pitching surrendered 12 walks,
they squandered offensive opportuni-
ties and didnt seem particularly sharp
defensively.
They still found a way to win.
Im trying to figure out how, Miley
said.
Heres how: with undying resolve
and a refusal to give in, or give up.
With Rochester leading 4-1, Greg
Golson singled and eventually scored
on a wild pitch in the fifth inning. Mike
Lamb lashed a run-scoring single and
Laird followed by blasting an RBI dou-
ble to tie the game 4-4 in the eighth.
Then Laird laced the winning single
down the left field line in the bottom of
the 12th.
An all-around effort, SWB closer
Kevin Whelan called it. It was a big
win, especially now.
Now the SWB Yankees have a four-
game winning streak to follow that
eight-game losing streak, after they
returned to PNC Field to take a 7-1
victory Wednesday.
And suddenly, talking about the
playoffs doesnt seem so preposterous
anymore.
Ever since signing with the Yan-
kees, everywhere Ive been Ive compet-
ed for the playoffs, Laird said. That
means a lot. Thats what you play for.
Its exciting.
What else are you playing for?
Certainly not just for pride. Because
the Yankees still believe they can make
a playoff push. They have faith theres
still enough time to make the standings
shake.

PHILADELPHIA Mike
Pelfrey threw six effective
innings, Nick Evans and Da-
vid Wright homered and New
York snapped a five-game
losing streak with a 7-4 win
over Philadelphia on Wednes-
day.
The Mets avoided a sweep
with their sixth win in 23
games.
Pelfrey (7-10) allowed three
runs and nine hits. Bobby
Parnell pitched a scoreless
ninth for his first save this
season and second in his
career. He retired Carlos Ruiz
on a grounder with two run-
ners on to end it.
Phillies starter Kyle Ken-
drick (7-6) gave up six runs
two earned and seven
hits in four innings filling in
for Cole Hamels.
Pirates 2, Brewers 0
PITTSBURGH Jason
Grilli won his first game in
nearly two years and four
Pittsburgh pitchers combined
on a five-hitter.
Aaron Thompson pitched 4
1-3 innings in his major
league debut, allowing four
hits while walking two and
striking out one. He was on
a pitch count after throwing
just four innings in his previ-
ous two minor league starts.
Rockies 7, Astros 6
DENVER Troy Tulowitz-
ki scored from third on a
wild pitch in the bottom of
the 10th inning and Colorado
completed a three-game
sweep.
Tulowitzki reached on a
one-out walk and went to
third on Jonathan Herreras
single to center. After an
intentional walk to Kevin
Kouzmanoff, reliever Aneury
Rodriguez (1-5) uncorked a
wild pitch to Eliezer Alfonzo
and Tulowitzki trotted home
with the winning run.
Marlins 6, Reds 5
Reds 3, Marlins 2
MIAMI Joey Votto
homered in each game of a
doubleheader, and Bronson
Arroyo pitched eight scoreless
innings in the nightcap, lead-
ing Cincinnati Reds to a
victory for a split of the twin-
bill.
Logan Morrison returned
from his demotion to Tri-
ple-A New Orleans by home-
ring in the Marlins 6-5 victo-
ry in the opener.
Votto went 5 for 7 with
four RBIs in the two games
as he extended his hitting
streak to 10 games. He has
24 homers this season.
Dodgers 9, Cardinals 4
ST. LOUIS Juan Rivera
homered and drove in three
runs and Los Angeles com-
pleted its first road sweep of
the season.
The Cardinals were out-
scored 24-7 in the Dodgers
first three-game sweep in St.
Louis since Aug. 20-22, 1993,
and have dropped seven of
nine overall.
Diamondbacks 4, Nationals 2
WASHINGTON Daniel
Hudson fell one out short of
his first career shutout
Wednesday night, and the
Arizona Diamondbacks turned
another casual arrival at the
ballpark into a win, beating
the Washington Nationals 4-2.
Cubs 3, Braves 2
CHICAGO Alfonso Sor-
iano homered, Randy Wells
pitched effectively into the
seventh and the Chicago
Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves.
Wells (5-4) held the Braves
to one run and two hits over
6 2-3 innings, striking out six
and improving to 4-1 in his
career against Atlanta.

NEW YORK Coco Crisp
homered twice and drove in
five runs, going 4 for 4 with a
three-run shot in the 10th in-
ning that sent the Oakland
Athletics to a 6-4 win over the
New York Yankees on Wednes-
day night.
No. 9 batter Scott Sizemore
was 4 for 4 with a tying double
off CC Sabathia in the eighth
and Oakland won at Yankee
Stadium for the second consec-
utive night to clinch a series
victory. The As had lost 10
straight series against New
York, an Oakland record for
futility against any team.
Nick Swisher homered twice
and Mark Teixeira also con-
nected for the Yankees, who
began the night two percent-
age points ahead of second-
place Boston in the AL East.
New York had dropped only
two of its previous 20 series
since June 10.
Mariners 9, Indians 2
CLEVELAND Felix Her-
nandez shook off a hard fall on
a fielding play to strike out 10,
Wily Mo Pena drove in four
runs and the Seattle Mariners
chased Clevelands Josh Tom-
lin before the sixth inning in a
rout that left the Indians play-
off hopes flickering.
Blue Jays 4, Royals 3
TORONTO Brett Lawrie
hit a tiebreaking home run in
the seventh inning, Jose Bau-
tista added his major league-
leading 37th homer and the
Toronto Blue Jays beat the
Kansas City Royals.
Jesse Litsch (5-3) pitched
one scoreless inning of relief
for the win. Frank Francisco
worked ninth for his 11th save.
Red Sox 13, Rangers 2
ARLINGTON, Texas
David Ortiz had an RBI single
on the first pitch he saw in 10
days and scored twice in his
return to Bostons lineup, a
victory over the AL West-lead-
ing Texas Rangers.
Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ells-
bury and Adrian Gonzalez hit
two-run homers in consecutive
innings for the Red Sox, who
took over first place in the AL
East after the New York Yan-
kees lost 6-4 in 10 innings to
Oakland. Crawford matched a
career high with his five RBIs.
Josh Beckett (11-5) allowed
one run and four hits over six
innings.
Rays 3, Tigers 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Elliot Johnson had a game-
ending fielders choice in the
10th inning and the Tampa Bay
Rays beat the Detroit Tigers.
Evan Longoria opened the
10th with an infield single off
Duane Below (0-2), but was
forced out at second on Ben
Zobrists grounder. After Matt
Joyce struck out, Casey Kotch-
man was hit by a pitch and
pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez
walked to load the bases.
Orioles 6, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS Mark
Reynolds homered to start a
five-run fifth inning and the
Baltimore Orioles beat the
Minnesota Twins.
In his first start in 11 days,
Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven
strong innings for the Orioles,
who have won three straight
for the first time since winning
four in a row from June 6-10.
Baltimore has outscored Min-
nesota 18-3 in the three games.

(Kontos) was throwing the ball
there was no need to bring any-
body else in.

team that I have a lot of respect
for and a lot of history with, and
really to be with a great teamand
play with one of greatest quarter-
backs of all time.
Collins agreed to a one-year
contract and acknowledged he
could be talked into staying long-
er than 2011.
Not everyone in the Colts lock-
er room is enamored with the
move.
We dont even know him, we
aint vanilla, man, we aint nosim-
ple offense, receiver Reggie
Wayne said. So for him to come
in here and be the starter, I dont
see it. I think thats a step back.
Colts coach Jim Caldwell
wasnt available to talk with re-
porters about Collins, a player he
coached at Penn State, because
the official announcement didnt
come until after practice. Cald-
well spoke with reporters before
practice. But he struck a calm
tone in a statement released by
the team.
He is a veteran quarterback
who has started many games and
he brings dimensionanddepthto
the quarterback position, which
will be helpful, Caldwell said.
He is familiar with our division
and will make a great addition to
our roster.
Themoveis another indication
that Mannings streak of 227 con-
secutive starts, including playoff
games, is in serious jeopardy for
the first time since 2008.
Manning had surgery May 23
to repair a nerve in his neck, and
the recovery has gone slower
than expected partially, Manning
said, because he couldnt work
out with teamtrainers during the
4
1
2-month lockout.
On Saturday morning, Colts
owner JimIrsay wrote onTwitter
that the Colts should be prepared
to play without Manning in the
opener against the division-rival
Texans. Later that day, Manning
acknowledged he did not expect
to play in the final two preseason
games and that he would need
the next two weeks just to get
healthy.
Collins said the first call from
Indy came Saturday, too.
Caldwell hasnt said when he
expects Manning to return to the
field after signing a five-year, $90
million contract to stay in Indy
last month.
I think he laid out pretty well
where he is, and that he is work-
ing extremely hard to try and get
back as quickly as he possibly
can, Caldwell said Monday.
Hes goingtoworkhardat trying
toget backandget ready, andhes
doing everything he can to do
so.
And if hes not ready? Well,
theres Collins, who has played in
195 career games with Tennes-
see, New Orleans, the New York
Giants, Oakland and Carolina be-
fore retiring in July.
Collins has a career 55.8 com-
pletion percentage and has
thrown for 40,441 yards, 206
touchdowns and 195 intercep-
tions. As the starter, Collins has
led his team to the playoffs four
times, includinga Super Bowl ap-
pearance with the Giants in the
2000 season.
Wayne, a five-time Pro Bowl
player and one of Mannings fa-
vorite targets, has supported
backup Curtis Painter. And while
he called Collins a great guy, he
said he was worried about the
Colts getting better.
Who says Kerrys going to be
the starter? Wayne said. Just
because we bring him in doesnt
mean hes the starter. Hes got to
learn too, right? Unless they gave
him a playbook months ago, hes
got to learn too.
I dont care who you are, I
mean Im not going to let anyone
just come in here and just push
someone (like Painter) aside like
youre that dog now, you know
what I mean? Wayne added.
Painter has started both pre-
season games this year, complet-
ing 8-of-16 passes for 95 yards
with no touchdowns and one in-
terception.

ished.
Ironically, Ciravolo thought
the starting line of last years
race was further up the hill. Last
year she thought only five peo-
ple were in the race until she
was directed to the proper start-
ing point.
While her adventures to the
start and finish each year may
have been a bit crazy and com-
ical, there was only serious con-
viction in her calculated and
short running steps this year.
She bested her previous course
time by a minute and three sec-
onds, clocking in at 7:36 as the
womens winner.
Claudia Camargo-Nero, who
represented Argentina in the
marathon in the Beijing Olym-
pics, finished in second after
beatingCiravolobytwoseconds
in the first leg of the OneSource
Valleys Fastest Man series at
Kirby Parks dirt track. Hilton
ran a 4:24 mile to win the mens
heat at Kirby.
The third race of the series
will culminate with the Wet
Paint River Street Mile on Fri-
day, Sept. 2. The combined best
times of all three races will de-
clare the winners in both the
womens and mens divisions.
People look at a mile and
think it is no big deal, Phil Ca-
ble, NEPA Cycling Race Direc-
tor, said. But this is tough stuff
and to see them cross the finish
line is great stuff for this region
and community.
Brian Stevens, co-owner of
Fitness Headquarters with his
brother Mike, was ecstatic to
the previous mark at 7:27.
I felt comfortable from the
start and found a steady pace,
Hilton said. My plan of attack
was to simply hang in there.
He hung in there till he cross-
ed the finish line, victorious,
and then proceeded to drop to
the ground about 10 feet past
the end line. He turned around,
stretched his legs outward and
flat on the pavement in the
shape of a V andlet out a sighof
relief.
This works for me, Hilton
stated. He then stood up and
cheered the second-place finish-
er, Jeff Skwierz, 29, of Tresckow,
as he sprinted over the finish
line with a time of 7:21.
This was different from any
typical road race, Skwierz said.
I had never seen this hill, but
heard it was tough. I picked up
spots as people fell behind and I
just did not want to do anything
crazy.
Crazy and fun was how Kel-
ly Ciravolo, 32, of Shavertown,
described the race last year
when she finished in fourth
place overall with a time of 8:39.
This year I was huffing all
the way up the hill and I had no
idea where the finish line was,
Ciravolo said. I thought it was
further up the hill and I didnt
feel fatigued till the very end,
when I needed to just be fin-
see the hundreds of people that
showed up to participate and
watch the race.
This is such a diversified
crowd, this is huge, Stevens
said. People are racing for all
sorts of reasons. We have track
stars, Olympians and people
just hoping to make it to the
top.
Gemma Ciravolo was just
hoping to make it to the bottom
of the hill after her mother Kelly
wontherace. The2-year-oldhad
her mothers sprint as she scur-
ried along side her mom.
She loves to run, I mean she
reallydoes, Ciravolosaid. Peo-
ple are commenting on her run-
ning and speeding like a little
engine all the time.
You are the engine in this
race, as Brian Stevens would
describe this event. This is the
most extreme race one will ever
run. Only climbing a tree is har-
der.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.
Preakness winner Shackle-
ford, Haskell Invitational winner
Coil and slight favorite Stay
Thirsty might not run the most
intriguing race on Travers Day.
About 30 minutes before the
142nd Travers Stakes, Uncle Mo
returns to the races for the first
time since being sidelined with
a life-threatening liver disease
more than four months ago.
The early Kentucky Derby fa-
vorite before his illness, Uncle
Mo was made the 9-5 favorite in
the $250,000 Kings Bishop, a
seven-furlong Grade 1 race
against seven rivals, among
them the highly regarded sprint-
er Flashpoint.
For him to be coming back is
amazing, said owner Mike Re-
pole, who owns Uncle Mo and
Stay Thirsty. And to think, a
short time ago we were not only
worried about whether hed race
again, but whether hed sur-
vive.
Uncle Mos comeback arrives
almost a year to the day since
his sensational debut, a dazzling
14
1
4-length romp at the Spa that
all but upstaged Afleet Express
win in the Travers a few races
later.
The Uncle Mo show is back at
the Spa, and that hasnt been
lost on Todd Pletcher, who
trains both morning-line favor-
ites for Repole.
Its pretty rare that youre go-
ing to have two 3-year-olds run-
ning in races where potentially
the $1 million, Grade 1 focal race
of the entire meet in some ways
is going to be less popular than
the one right before it, Pletcher
said. Hes training really well.
Were really pleased with every-
thing thats happened since
weve come up here (in July).
Weve gotten to this point exact-
ly like we hoped we could have.
That would be six timed
workouts, including a final five-
furlong breeze in 59.90 seconds
Sunday.
Travers Day cant come soon
enough for Repole, a fast-talking
42-year-old New Yorker who
made millions selling Glaceau,
the maker of Vitaminwater and
Smartwater, to Coca Cola for
$4.1 billion in 2007.
On a scale of 1 to 10, this is
probably a 19, he said Wednes-
day in the paddock during the
Travers post position draw.
Growing up, I dreamed about
being in situations like this. I
dreamed about having this op-
portunity. I have a saying:
Think big, dream bigger. To
think I was going to have the
favorite in the Kings Bishop and
the favorite in the Travers in the
same year on the same card ...
thats beyond bigger.
Uncle Mo won his first three
races, including the Breeders
Cup Juvenile, and was voted 2-
year-old champion. After win-
ning his first start this year, the
bay colt finished an unexpected
third in the Wood Memorial at
Aqueduct on April 9 as the 1-10
favorite.
He was examined by several
veterinarians over a few weeks
before he was diagnosed with
cholangiohepatitis a severe
inflammation of the bile pas-
sages and liver, which can cause
liver failure in horses, according
to the Merck Veterinary
Manual.
Dr. Bill Barnard of Lexington
Equine Surgery & Sports Med-
icine was among those who
treated Uncle Mo. He said the
disease is unusual and that
hes seen maybe a couple of
dozen in his career.
Id say 50 percent of the cases
recover, but to return to the lev-
el Uncle Mos returned to Id say
maybe 10 percent, Barnard
said. He was pretty sick there
for a while.
Uncle Mo spent two months
at WinStar Farm in Kentucky
gaining back his energy and the
nearly 150 pounds he lost due to
the disease.
Uncle Mos comeback highlights Travers Day
AP PHOTO
The field for the Travers will include the winners of the Preakness,
Belmont Stakes, Haskell Invitational and Jim Dandy, but its an-
other 3-year-old, Uncle Mo, above, who could steal the spotlight.
The 3-year-old was the early
Kentucky Derby favorite until
being sidelined due to illness.

One Breathtaking Course
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Manti
Teo can clear up two issues im-
mediately. His nose, broken last
year in a game against Army, is
fine. And his knee, which he had
cleaned up with arthroscopic sur-
gery in the offseason, is com-
pletely healed.
He reports that facial update
witha laugh. But theres a serious
question looming for Notre
Dames hard-hitting linebacker
and the Irish fans who watched
himmake 133 tackles last season
the most by an Irish defender
since 1983.
Could this third season in
South Bend be his final one if the
NFL beckons?
I dont really think about it.
The task at hand is what is really
important to me, Teo said of the
upcoming season that kicks off
Sept. 3 against South Florida.
Im just preparing myself to
play the best brand of football
that I have ever played and what-
ever comes up and whatever op-
portunities present themselves
then I will sit down with my fam-
ily and with my coaches and we
will talk about it, he said. Of
course, we have talked about the
future and the possibilities of it
happening, but right nowall that
matters to me is this football
team.
With Teo a force at inside line-
backer, the Irishs defense got bet-
ter as the season progressed a
year ago, especially during a four-
game winning streak that al-
lowed them to finish 8-5, includ-
ing a Sun Bowl victory over Mia-
mi.
Teo leads a group of eight re-
turning defensive starters, in-
cluding safety Harrison Smith,
ends Ethan Johnson and Kapron
Lewis-Moore and outside line-
backer Darius Fleming.
During that streak last season,
the Irish allowed an average of
only 9.8 points and gave up just
one touchdown during a stretch
of 15 quarters. They yielded only
91.8 yards rushing over those
four games. Teo was right in the
middle of it all.
A highly regarded prep recruit
fromPunahouHighSchool inHa-
waii a guy named Barack Oba-
ma attended the same school
Teo came to Notre Dame after
choosingSouthBendover South-
ern California.
After anadjustment periodas a
freshman, he made animmediate
impact when he started10 games
and had 63 tackles.
When the Irish finished 6-6 in
what would be coach Charlie
Weis final campaign, Teohadan-
other difficult decision contin-
ue with football or go on a Mor-
mon mission. He chose to stay
with a new coaching regime lead
by Brian Kelly. His faith contin-
ues to play a huge role in his life
and hes attended a nearby
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints.
As he sat out this spring to
mend his knee, Teo had a chance
to do a lot of watching and that
helped him see the defense from
a newperspective, learning what
other positions do.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Missouri
athletic director Mike Alden is
standing behind the schools em-
battledmens basketball coach
to a point.
Frank Haiths future has come
into question after Yahoo Sports
reported last week that a former
University of Miami booster said
he paid then-Hurricanes recruit
DeQuan Jones $10,000 to attend
the school with Haiths approval.
Haithspent sevenyears at Mia-
mi before Alden hired him in
April. It was a decision that sur-
prised and disappointed many
Missouri fans, given Haiths rela-
tively low coaching profile and
his 43-69 record in the Atlantic
Coast Conference.
Alden discussed Haith for the
first time Wednesday at a kickoff
party for Missouri football boost-
ers. Asked by The Associated
Press if he supports Haith, Alden
replied, We support the NCAA
process.
The NCAAhas asked Missouri
to not undertake its own inquiry
but insteadawait the results of its
broader investigation into the
sweeping allegations by dis-
gracedMiami booster NevinSha-
piro.
Shapiro, who is in federal pris-
on after being convicted of run-
ning a massive Ponzi scheme,
claims to have provided cash,
cars, prostitutes andother imper-
missible benefits to 72 Miami
football players and other ath-
letes between2002and2010with
the knowledge of at least six
coaches and as many as 10 athlet-
ic department employees overall.
Aldenbriefly toucheduponthe
situation in his remarks to boost-
ers, noting that Haith met with
the Missouri basketball teamsev-
eral days ago to discuss the mat-
ter. But he also emphasized that
the alleged violations occurred at
another school, and singled out
the returning basketball players
as a great group of guys.
Hes our coach, Alden told
the AP. Theres a process that
hes involved with that were
not involved with so were just
going to let that play out.
Local radio ads promoting the
Tiger Quarterback Club rally
touted Haiths appearance at the
event as recently as Monday. But
the coach decided not to attend.
Missouri AD supporting
his choice as mens coach
By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. These
are tough times for Tennessee
athletics.
The NCAA has finally wrap-
ped up its investigation that has
beenhangingover the mens bas-
ketball and the football pro-
grams for more than two years.
To escape additional puni-
shments stemming from the
probe, the university placed self-
imposed recruiting limitations
on second-year football coach
Derek Dooley and newly hired
mens basketball coach Cuonzo
Martin.
Thelast timethefootball team
made news in the mighty South-
eastern Conference was with
Lane Kiffins controversial anti-
cs; Dooley can only promise the
team will be better, not good.
Martins basketball outlook
may not be much better.
Iconic womens basketball
coach Pat Summitt has been di-
agnosedwithearly onset demen-
tia Alzheimers type.
Im ready to have calm wa-
ters, interim athletics director
Joan Cronan said Wednesday.
Im ready to go forward. I told
our staff this morning that our
focus was the passion, pride and
tradition of Tennessee and that
would move us forward.
Summitts challenges are only
beginning. The Hall of Fame
coach announced Tuesday that
she had been diagnosed with the
progressive cognitive disorder
but pledged to continue coach-
ing as long as she felt healthy
enough to do so.
But her storied Lady Vols pro-
gram has struggled recently by
Summitts standards. The Lady
Vols have won eight national
championships and reached 18
Final Fours, however they
havent reached a Final Four in
three seasons which ties the
programs longest drought.
Another Final Four trip or a
ninth national title wont cure
Summitt, but it would go a long
way toward getting Tennessee
athletics back to normal.
We have a tremendous tradi-
tion, associate head coach Hol-
ly Warlicksaid. Its goingtocon-
tinue to be strong. Were all go-
ing to make sure it moves for-
ward. Pat is always going to be a
part of this. That is the founda-
tion that were building every-
thing on.
The Lady Vols may be Tennes-
sees best shot. The football pro-
gram is struggling to return to
the glory that has eluded it since
longtime coach Phillip Fulmer
was fired in 2008.
The Vols havent played for a
national title since winning the
1998 BCS crown and havent
won more than seven games in
the past three seasons. Players
left in droves after Fulmer was
fired and his replacement, Lane
Kiffin, bolted for Southern Cali-
fornia after one season.
Kiffin led the Vols to seven
wins, but his short tenure is
more remembered for the infa-
mous notoriety to the program.
And though Dooley has man-
aged to bring in some talented
players, theres a lot of worktobe
done before the Vols can hope to
be a regular Southeastern Con-
ference championship conten-
der again.
You ask them to be better to-
day thanyouwere yesterday, and
so far our team is doing that,
Dooley said of this years team.
It doesnt mean were any
good.
On Wednesday, a week and a
half before Tennessees season
opener, Dooley dismissed one of
his top players, junior safety Jan-
zen Jackson. Dooley said Jack-
sons personal issues, which he
took five months off school to
deal with, had become too much
of a distraction.
Although Im disappointed
with this outcome, we will never
compromise the long-term orga-
nizational values and goals we
maintain here at Tennessee,
Dooley said.
The mens basketball teams
successes have been more re-
cent, with Pearl leading the Vols
to their only No. 1 ranking and
only appearance in the NCAA
tournament regional finals. But
it came with a price.

Tennessee looking to recover
By BETH RUCKER
AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Kenny
Britt says he hada very good
meeting withRoger Goodell and
that the NFLcommissioner
promisedhima decisionon
whether hell be punishedas
soonas possible.
The Titans receiver met with
Goodell inNewYork onTuesday
andwas back onthe field
Wednesday. Britt says hes not
sure if he will be punishedand
was hoping to knowthe instant
he walkedout of Goodells of-
fice.
Britt was summonedto Good-
ells office after two arrests in
NewJersey during the lockout
andtwo arrest warrants inTen-
nessee for inaccurate informa-
tiononhis drivers license appli-
cations. Those are part of seven
incidents withpolice since Britt
was drafted.
The receiver says Goodell did
tell himhe better not see Britts
face inhis office again.
COWBOYS
ARLINGTON, Texas The
Dallas Cowboys have signed
cornerback Orlando Scandrick
to a five-year contract extension.
The deal is worth$27 million
anadditional $2 millionthis
season, andanaverage of $5
millionper seasonfor the added
years. Hes guaranteed$10 mil-
lion, according to a personfamil-
iar withnegotiations who spoke
onconditionof anonymity be-
cause the terms were not re-
leased.
Afifth-roundpick in2008,
Scandrick has beena solidthird
cornerback behindTerence
NewmanandMichael Jenkins,
excelling mostly covering re-
ceivers out of the slot.
WithNewmanandJenkins
injuredmuchof training camp,
Scandrick has workedwiththe
first teamandcoaches have been
pleasedwithwhat theyve seen.
Newdefensive coordinator Rob
Ryanhas ravedabout him.
GIANTS
EASTRUTHERFORD, N.J.
While NewYork Giants corner-
back AaronRoss wont admit
there is a chip onhis shoulder,
its there.
Ross came to training camp as
the somewhat forgottenman
among the cornerbacks.
Corey Webster andTerrell
Thomas were the returning
starters andgeneral manager
Jerry Reese didnt hesitate to
take Prince Amukamara inthe
first roundwhenthe Nebraska
cornerback was available with
the19thpick overall.
It left Ross inno mans land.
The Giants first-roundpick in
2007 was downonthe depth
chart andfighting the stigma of
being injury-prone the past two
seasons. He misseda goodpart
of 2009 withhamstring issues
andbattleda painful foot injury
most of last season.
Three weeks into training
camp, though, Ross is no longer
anafterthought.
BILLS
ORCHARDPARKThe
Buffalo Bills have agreedto a
one-year contract withfree-
agent linebacker Kirk Morrison,
the players agent has toldThe
AssociatedPress.
The deal was agreedto verbal-
ly onWednesday, Morrisons
agent, Bruce Tollner, says. Mor-
risonis a six-year NFLveteran
who spent last seasonwiththe
Jacksonville Jaguars, who elect-
ednot to re-signhimthis offsea-
son.
The Bills have a policy of not
announcing acquisitions until
the player has beensigned.
Morrisonhas beena full-time
starter since 2005, whenhe was
draftedinthe thirdroundby
Oakland. He spent five seasons
withthe Raiders. He hadno
sacks or interceptions inhis one
seasonwiththe Jaguars last
year. Overall, Morrisonhas five
sacks andseveninterceptions in
96 career games.
RAIDERS
NAPA, Calif. Inone of the
highest-profile moves of the
offseason, the OaklandRaiders
lost anAll-Pro cornerback when
Nnamdi Asomugha signedas a
free agent withthe Philadelphia
Eagles.
More thanfive months earlier,
the Raiders hadaddedanAll-Pro
cornerback whenthey hiredRod
Woodsonas assistant defensive
backs coach.
Woodsons maintask is to help
develop four young cornerbacks
the Raiders have draftedthe past
two seasons into reliable NFL
players as Oaklandtries to re-
place Asomugha.
Eight years after retiring from
the NFL, Woodsonis using his
Hall of Fame playing credentials
to try to teacha young group of
cornerbacks howto succeed.
STEELERS
PITTSBURGHThree
Super Bowl appearances over
the past six years, three different
starting centers for the Pitts-
burghSteelers. Three different
right guards, left tackles and
right tackles, too.
Infact, along the Pittsburghs
offensive line, only left guard
has hada modicumof stability
over the course of Super Bowl
wins following the 2005 and
2008 seasons andeventhrough
last seasons Super Bowl loss to
the GreenBay Packers.
Ina league andona team
inwhichstability, chemistry
andcohesiveness are valuedin
constructing anelite offensive
line, the Steelers have managed
to consistently remainamong
the NFLs best despite constant
change.
This preseason, the reigning
AFCchampions have auditioned
no fewer thanfour candidates
for the job of starting right
guard, andvirtually every prom-
inent player onthe unit has
missedpractice time due to
injury and/or contract issues.
The depthhas beenques-
tionedenoughthat the team
brought back six-year veteran
Trai Essex less thana month
after coaches haddeterminedhe
was too out of shape to re-signas
a free agent. Yet somehow, the
Steelers arent all that con-
cerned. After all, theyve over-
come it before.
SEAHAWKS
RENTON, Wash. Leon
Washingtonput the Seattle
Seahawks dominant special
teams unit onfull display witha
two-touchdownperformance in
a winover SanDiego last Sep-
tember.
Withthe offense sputtering
anda defense prone to giving up
the big play, Washingtonreturn-
edtwo kickoffs for scores and
nearly hada thirdina 27-20 win
over the Chargers onSept. 26.
It was not a surprise that
Washingtondidso well 2010
was the secondseasonof his
career inwhichhe took three

Under the NFLs newkickoff

things wouldhave happened.
Inaneffort to curb collision-

NFL, union meet on HGH testing
The NFL and the players union remain at an impasse on HGH
testing.
NFL lead counsel Jeff Pash tells The Associated Press on
Wednesday that the World Anti-Doping Agency, which would
conduct the testing, demonstrated to our satisfaction that there is
very sound science and very thoughtful testing protocols during a
meeting Wednesday in Montreal.
A person familiar with the talks says the union is not satisfied,
however, with WADAs information on the procedures it uses and
the reliability of the blood test. WADA handles drug testing for the
Olympics and is largely accepted as the gold standard for
worldwide drug testing.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks are
supposed to be confidential.

Another look at
unemployment
Weve seen this month that the
weekly reports on how many
people applied for unemploy-
ment benefits can help the
market swing sharply. Last
weeks report that applications
rose back above 400,000 helped
send the Dow down 419 points.
But an unexpected drop earlier
this month helped set off a rally.
Economists expect a small dip in
applications when the latest
number comes out today.
Another mortgage rate record?
Last week, the mortgage company Freddie Mac said the aver-
age rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage had fallen to its lowest
level on records dating to
1971 4.15 percent. Since
that report was compiled,
the yield on the Treasurys
10-year note fell to a record
of its own, 1.98 percent,
before rising slightly.
Economists and consumers
want to see if the 30-year
falls further. But even if it
does, its not likely to start a
home-buying boom.
Hormel earnings
The food maker is expected to
report that its fiscal third-
quarter earnings fell because
of rising costs for meat and
other ingredients. It has been
raising prices, but financial
analysts believe that wasnt
enough for the company to
keep up with what its paying
for commodities and also for
energy. Hormels brands
include Dinty Moore Stew,
Jennie-O turkey and its name-
sake packaged meats.

3rd daily gain for shares
A late-afternoon surge pushed stocks
higher for the third day straight.
Gold plunged $104 an ounce and
government bond yields rose as in-
vestors became less fearful.
An encouraging rise in orders for
cars, aircraft and other long-lasting
goods in July helped ease worries that
the U.S. was headed for another reces-
sion. The government said durable
goods orders rose 4 percent, the big-
gest increase since March. Orders fell
in June.
The stock market often takes sudden
turns in late August anyway, when
fewer traders are at their desks, said
Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist
at the brokerage BTIG.
Its kind of crazy. I blinked and in 15
minutes the market had turned,
Greenhaus said.
Stocks have made huge moves this
month after Europes debt crisis flared
up again and as signs emerged that the
U.S. might slip back into recession.
Cigar seller moving in
New Global Marketing Inc., which
operates the online retailer bestci-
garprices.com, will occupy a 25,000-
square-foot building in the CAN DO
Corporate Center in Drums. The com-
pany is moving operations from a
smaller building in Kingston, N.Y.
New Global was founded by Alan
Blatt in 1997, selling a variety of items.
The cigar business took off and moved
into a succession of facilities as it grew.
Blatt died in 2006 and his brother,
Ronald Blatt, took over and remains as
president and CEO.
The company will initially employ
35-40, said Greg Fox, chief operating
officer, with expectations to reach 60
within a few years.
The relocation was aided by nearly
$1.3 million in grants, tax credits and
low-interest loans from various state
agencies.
UGI to serve factory
UGI Utilities Inc. will construct more
than five miles of natural gas pipeline
to serve the Altadis U.S.A. Inc. manu-
facturing plant in McAdoo. Work began
this month, with projected completion
in December. The new line, which will
cost nearly $3.8 million, will be able to
accept connections by residents and
businesses along its route.
Once the line is connected, natural
gas will replace approximately 1.5
million gallons of fuel oil the plant uses
each year to power its boilers.
Altadis was formerly knows as Con-
solidated Cigar Corp. The McAdoo
plant has been in operation since the
1960s.
Google settles on drug ads
Google Inc. has agreed to pay $500
million to settle a U.S. government
investigation into the Internet search
leaders distribution of online ads from
Canadian pharmacies illegally selling
prescription drugs to American con-
sumers.
The settlement means Google will
not face criminal prosecution for accu-
sations that it improperly profited from
ads promoting Canadian pharmacies
that illegally imported drugs into the
United States.

WALL STREET
TUESDAY WAS an
interesting day. For
many of us, it was
the first time wed
felt an earthquake.
For others, such as
from the West Coast,
it wasnt much to get
excited about. It was, however, the
most pronounced seismic event on the
East Coast since 1944. And it provided
a great example of how technology
can be both a help and a hindrance in
emergency situations.
For example, most people I spoke to
knew that there had been an earth-
quake within minutes of it happening,
regardless of whether they felt it or
not. Reports came in on Twitter, Face-
book, SMS and old-fashioned word of
mouth. Reports that told everyone
exactly what had happened.
But a negative aspect of everyone
having easy access to cellular phones
and this is a big one is that the
lines can become overwhelmed by
high call volume.
I was having issues reaching some
people for minutes, and Wilkes-Barre
there may be a danger in becoming
overdependent on technology.
Say your cellphone stops working.
Try to find a pay phone. Even at home,
land lines are becoming increasingly
scarce. What do you do then?
But for all that, we have at our dis-
posal a great way to send and receive
information, and in most cases, its a
very positive thing.
For example on timesleader.com,
we asked about our readers experi-
ences. Within a few hours, we had hun-
dreds of people offering feedback.
Within seconds of the shaking, our
news staff was able to see what had
happened and reach out to our online
audience via text and e-mail alerts to
let them know what was going on.
Within minutes, we had started pub-
lishing photographs and videos.
The moral here: Embrace technology
its a great asset. But dont become
so dependent upon it that you cant
function without it.
wasnt impacted all that much.
This wasnt such a big deal on Tues-
day. But if there had been a real emer-
gency, not only would the call volume
have been higher and the network
experiencing more load, the calls
would have had a higher priority, and
they wouldnt have gotten through.
Lets take it one step further. People
were looking to Facebook and Twitter
and the Internet and phones for their
information. Even in the best of times,
there can be outages. In emergency
situations, its possible that you wont
have any Internet access at all. A few
years ago, this wasnt so important.
Things like telephone lines and cable
were completely discreet.
Now, in some cases, its possible to
run every voice and data service
through one line.
If something happens and you lose
the connection, it all goes away.
So, Tuesday was a reminder that

Employers Holdings Inc., an
insurance company based in Re-
no, Nev., is negotiating to pur-
chase Guard Insurance Group
Inc. of Wilkes-Barre.
In a filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Em-
ployers Holdings said it was cur-
rently engaged in due diligence
on an exclusive basis. The com-
pany has sub-
mitted a non-
binding offer of
$312 million for
Guard. The pur-
chase would in-
clude all of Clal
U.S.s shares
and assumption
of $25millionin
outstanding
trust securities.
If the deal
goes through, it will be the sec-
ond sale of Guard within five
years.
Guard Insurance and associat-
ed companies were founded in
1982 by Judd and Susan Shoval,
who continued in active manage-
ment until selling the company
to Clal Insurance Enterprise
Holdings Ltd., an Israeli compa-
ny, in early 2007 for a reported
$135 million. At the time the
company employed nearly 300,
most of themworkingat the com-
panys South River Street head-
quarters.
At the time, it was expected
that Clal would provide the cap-
ital needed for Guard to expand
its reach beyond the 21 states in
which it did business. According
to a company profile on Guards
website, it nowserves 47,000 em-
ployers in 28 states, up from
33,000 employers in 2005. The
company wrote $242 million
worth of premiums in 2010, com-
pared to $207 million five years
earlier.
A combination would extend
Employers Holdings into 11
states where it presently does not
offer policies, but Guard does, in-
cluding New York, Michigan and
all of the New England states.
Employers Holdings offers
workers compensation insur-
ance to small businesses in 30
states. According to its website,
it was the Nevada state industrial
insurance fund until privatiza-
tion in 2000.
Guard is licensed but does not
nowoffer insurance in four other
states where Employers Hold-
ings does not do business.
Calls requesting comment
fromGuard and Employers Hold-
ings were not returned.

AZLETWP. StateRepublicanleaders heardsuggestions fromHazletonarea business owners and
industry advocates Wednesday about how the state can spur job growth.
Members of the state House RepublicanPolicy Committee, includingChairmanDave Reed, R-Indiana,
and Hazleton area Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, gathered at the Hazle Township Commons
building for a hearing on job creation in Pennsylvania.
The Republican and Democratic pol-
icy committees have held numerous
such gatherings around the state as they
prepare for legislative sessions to re-
sume Sept. 26. Reed said Republicans
plan to introduce a comprehensive jobs
package of legislation then.
Many of the six Republican leaders at-
tending the hearing said they were most
concernedwithfinding ways the govern-
ment could stay out of the way of small
business owners by easing regulations
and permitting requirements.
Really with job creation and job
growth, the key component of that is pri-
vate sector development, Reed said.
While the state can create the atmo-
sphere to help create jobs what the
state is really focused on is: Howcan the
state get out of the way and let the pri-
vatesector put thosefolks backtowork.
Mike Leib, president of two cast metal
companies in Hazleton and Weatherly,
called Department of Environmental
Protection stormwater management re-
quirements as a particularly cumber-
some requirement.
John Keegan, owner of Heights Ter-
race Pharmacy, saidhe is most disturbed
by a seemingly endless thirst for revenue
in Harrisburg.
Citing state liquor stores, the state lot-
tery, legalized gambling and nowa push
for a Marcellus Shale natural gas extrac-
tion tax, Keegan said an appetite for
cash in the Legislature is the biggest ob-
stacle for job growth.
Someof thosetestifyingat thehearing
spoke to ways the state could better en-
courage education for skilled laborers
and factory workers.
George Hayden, president of an electri-
cal contracting company bearing his
name, and Associated Builders and Con-
tractors Vice President John P. Judge said
the state should update regulations gov-
erning the number of apprentice laborers
a contracting company can take on.
Skilledlaborers are inhighdemandand
earn family-sustaining wages, but the
state loses out to others because appren-
ticeshipsarent aseasytocomebyinPenn-
sylvania as in other states, he said.
Hayden said he would like to train
more apprentice laborers at his company
but is prevented from doing so by regu-
lations requiring a minimum ratio of
four to five journeyman laborers per ap-
prentice working at a job site. He said
most other states andthe federal govern-
ment have modernized those ratios,
most to a minimum of one journeyman
per apprentice, but the state has not
done so for political reasons.
Labor unions are allowed to set their
own ratios, giving theman unfair bargain-
ing chip in contract bidding, he added.
Eric Esoda of the Northeastern PA In-
dustrial Resource Center and Jack Pfun-
der of Manufacturers Resource Center
spoke about the need to educate chil-
dren about the high wages and high-tech
work manufacturing jobs offer, as many
students dont consider factory work a
career option and their parents often
steer them away from it.

WHY INVESTORS LIKE IT
Each day, Groupon emails a discounted offer to sub-
scribers, such as a $40 massage for $20. Groupon
keeps a cut of each deal sold. Its popularity has
surged, and it had 115.7 million subscribers at the
end of June. That was up 39 percent from three
months earlier and 1,008 percent from June 2010.
WHY ITS RISKY
Groupon is still losing money. And it has rivals like
LivingSocial and Dealmap, which Google bought this
month. The increasing competition means Groupon
is getting less revenue from each subscriber: $9 last
quarter, down from $10 three months earlier and $13
a year earlier.
WHY INVESTORS LIKE IT
Zynga is profitable. It has developed some of the
most popular Facebook games, like FarmVille and
CafeWorld. Users can play Zyngas games for free,
but they also can pay for premium items or to reach
the next stage of a game more quickly.
WHY ITS RISKY
Nearly all its players come from Facebook, which an-
alysts say makes Zynga dependent on a good rela-
tionship with the social networking company. Less
than 5 percent of players have historically paid for
games. But they account for nearly all of Zyngas
revenue.
A LOOK AT THE COMPANIES, PRO AND CON:
The market for initial public offerings has
stalled as stocks have plunged. Seventeen
planned IPOs were canceled this month, ac-
cording to Dealogic. Two of four that went
through, Tudou Holdings and American Capi-
tal Mortgage Investment, are trading below
their offering price. A third, Sandridge Permian
Trust, is just pennies above its price.
Financial analysts dont expect many IPOs
until stocks are rising again, but they say two
high-profile deals could come by the end of
September: Groupon and Zynga. Theyre ex-
pected to go to market because they offer the
prospect of growth in a slowing economy,
says Paul Bard, director of research for Re-
naissance Capital.

The countrys No. 3 wireless carrier
will reportedly start selling the iP-
hone 5 in mid-October, which could
help boost its market share.
The pharmacy chain approved a
new $4 billion program to buy back
its stock after a steep decline in its
stock in August.
The banks stock recovered from
Tuesdays sell-off. Several analysts
said worries about the companys
balance sheet were overblown.
Stocks closed higher Wednesday after a late after-
noon surge. Gold fell, the dollar rose and govern-
ment bond yields rose as investors became less
fearful. A rise in orders for durable goods like cars
and aircraft in July eased fears that the U.S. was
in for another recession. Stocks rose for a third
straight day, but only after swinging from gains to
losses and back again. The Dow rose 1.3 percent.
The S&P 500 rose 1.3 percent. The Nasdaq rose
0.9 percent.

A warm and
humid air mass
is now in place
over
Pennsylvania,
and with a cold
front approach-
ing showers and
scattered storms
are likely today.
Later in the day
there may be
some very heavy
downpours in
spots as the
front passes.
With clearing
tonight the stage
will be set for a
nice day on
Friday. As
Hurricane Irene
begins to accel-
erate up along
the east coast,
the sun will fade
and light show-
ers could arrive
later in the day.

NEWYORKAny way you hang it,
that strong-shouldered jacket fromthe
1980s is never going to quite look like
the 80s-inspired jackets popular now.
Same goes for the 70s maxi and slinky
disco-style dresses.
That means the time has likely
come to get rid of them.
Think of this as a time to clear your
closet cleaning and updating in one
fell swoop by strategically paring
down your wardrobe, making a few
new additions and finding shelf space
for those items that truly are timeless.
Even something as simple as knit
leggings, a staple now, were a fashion
dont a decade ago. They could go
into hibernation again. And, chances
are, anyone who kept their stirrups
from the Culture Club era still cant
make those look modern.
Adam Glassman, fashion director at
O, The Oprah Magazine, says any-
thing you havent worn in two years
should be booted from the valuable
closet real estate. He used to say one
year, he explains, but he is allowing
for a little more flexibility in size fluc-
tuation, popular colors and immediate
trends.
After that, though, the items un-
less theyre expensive, top-tier design-
er pieces in beautiful fabrics with pre-
cision cuts should go. Its romantic
to think that other items, even pricey
ones, could wear that vintage label
someday, but, in reality, very few
things do.
Very high-end stuff, like (French
design label) Balmain, you can save
that because, eventually, it could be a
collectors item. I have friends who
hold on to Prada like that, Glassman
says. But thats a small percentage of
whats out there. You dont need to
save H&M, Gap, Zara.
Most closets are cluttered with stuff
that hasnt seen the light of day in a
very long time, says Jackie Conlin, a
personal style consultant in San Fran-
cisco. Timeless pieces are real gems,
she says. I like the idea of timeless-
ness, but the way things change so
rapidly, a look is going to change and
your look is going to change.
She advises a classic wardrobe
with punches of personality, includ-
ing a trench coat that, if its not a Bur-
berry, is made in the brands spirit, in a
neutral color, and a tailored and trim
silhouette; pencil skirts and pencil
black pants; and shift and sheath
dresses.
Conlin puts a white blouse or man-
tailored button-down on the list, but
Glassman warns that those can be
tricky to keep because, even protected
in the closet, theyll yellow over time.
They do agree that keeping tradi-
tional handbags, clutches and totes,
for instance, and high-heel pumps
(probably just the round-toe ones)
makes sense as long as theyre in good
condition. Heavily embellished acces-
sories, however, might be perfect do-
nations for a little girls dress-up box.

ganizer Melanie Fascitelli says she

After her grandparents hosted 13-year-old Emma Thorn-
ton of Wyomissing and her friend Caroline for a weekend
visit, each of the two girls used pen and paper to write a
polite thank-you note.
Caroline and I had such a great time, Emma wrote,
after expressing gratitude to Grammy and Gramps for her
birthday gifts.
Thanks for taking such great care of me, Caroline
wrote. I had a blast!
Sending the notes was a sweet and gracious gesture, the
kind that warms a grandparents heart.
But it might be a sign of the times that the girls who
are growing up in an age of keyboards and texting print-
ed their neat letters instead of using the kind of flowing,
cursive handwriting elementary-school teachers used to
stress.
And we mean stress.
Oh, youd get a grade in penmanship, Emmas grandfa-
ther, Bill Thornton, 78, of Butler Township said with a
chuckle.
It was the Palmer Method, said his wife, Mary Ellen
Thornton, 75, looking back to her days at the former Co-

It was really important to me to write
a really thorough handwriting manual, a
stand-alone book that parents could use
with their children, Sull said.
Home-school parent Karen Rogers of
Gardner taught her daughter the value
of good penmanship by writing Bible
verses in cursive. Some kids need to
hear it or see it; some need to write it,
said Rogers, who also taught for six
years at elementary schools across the
country.
A recent study by researchers at Indi-
ana University found that strong pen-
manship skills can lead to increased
brain activity.
Victoria Chandler, a sixth-grade teach-
er at Pioneer Ridge Middle School in
Gardner, has emphasized the impor-
tance of good handwriting since she
started teaching more than 30 years ago.
Within the past 20 years, cursive has
slowly disappeared, Chandler said.
Ive written on the board in cursive and
have had kids near to tears because they
couldnt read it. Computer classes and
preparation for state assessments have
replaced cursive instruction, she said.
Chandler met Sull about two years
ago at a post office. She noticed the in-
tricately detailed calligraphy scrolled on
the front of his letter, and their mutual
appreciation for handwriting grew from
there. They teamed up to charter a Pio-
neer Ridge handwriting club, in which
students learn about good penmanship,
proper posture, working with different
types of paper and the correct way to
hold a pen.
He talks to them about the impor-
tance of taking the time to slow down
and write and howpersonal somebodys
handwriting can be, Chandler said.
The kids just love it.
Sull, Chandler and Rogers value a
thoughtfully penned letter over a text or
email. Sulls book sets out to rejuvenate
and repersonalize communication.
I wanted to bring back the joy of per-
sonal expression and using personal let-
ters, he said. It is so important.

andwriting instruction is on the verge
of a renaissance.
Michael Sull of Gardner, Kan., is a master
penman in Spencerian script, past president of
the International Association of Master Penmen,
Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting, and author of four books
onhandwriting. His latest work, AmericanCursiveHandwriting,
was recently released. Sull spent sevenyears designing the book to
be a self-study curriculumguide and workbook for adults and chil-
dren, especially home-school families.
Hand-writing a letter is an exercise in relaxation, says Mary Ellen Thornton of Butler Township.

der time parting with boots, she
said. Theres something weird
about them.
Theyll be run into the
ground and be Band-Aided to
death, she observes. Yes, there
are some leather items that look
good worn-in, but some dont,
and boots are one of those
things.
She also sees too many college
sweatshirts. Theres a place for
some sentimental items, she
says, but not with your everyday
wardrobe.
Put clean items in breathable
garment bags, whichlimit discol-
oration, and throw in lavender
sachets, which act as an antisep-
tic and bug repellent, says Fasci-
telli, who also created the Clos-
ette Too line of storage products.
Store these bags in a humidity-
controlled location.
For the things youre on the
fence about, Fascitelli says, ask
yourself: Would you buy it now?
The answer probably would be
no when it comes to that old in-
terview suit, says Conlin, yet
there are so many ill-fitting, dou-
ble-breasted jackets with match-
ing knee-length skirts both
probably misshapen from so
many years on the hanger still
out there.
Some suits can be resurrected
as weekend separates, if the fab-
rics work with denim or khakis,
Glassman says, which will help
you feel like you got your mon-
eys worth.
People also tend to hold on to
their old black leather pants.
I think because its leather,
whichis worthsomethinginpeo-
ples minds, they think they
should keep it. But, she says,
there probably couldnt be any-
thing less flattering. Maybe they
cost $400 15 years ago, and peo-
ple cant let go of that.
Nothing is worth keeping if
you dont look good in it, Glass-
man adds. The most important
thing, you really have to be hon-
est with where you are with your
size. Dont think Im getting
back into it or that you may go
up two sizes. You are the size you
are right now.
If you have, say, skinny jeans
that you loved the look of years
ago, then go try a newpair in the
right size from the same brand,
he suggests.
(Altering and tailoring are
wonderful tools, whenusedspar-
ingly for special things. But you
can end up spending more mon-
ey than you would on something
easily replaced.)
Fascitelli says tackling the
closet with an honest, trusted
friend is the way to go. Then
make piles: one to keep, one to
store, one to sell on eBay or to a
consignment shop, one for rela-
tives or friends (thats where
good stuff that doesnt fit right
can go), and one for charity.
Purging seems to be less trau-
matic when you think its going
to find a good home somewhere
else, she says.
Still think youll miss your
prairie skirt or flannel shirt?
Go buy some dark denim
jeans, an interesting cardigan,
cuff bracelets and some new T-
shirts, Conlin suggests. Those
are the updates that will easily fit
in the new, edited closet.

ticed a lot, and I enjoyed it. It
was relaxing.
Her husband says his hand-
writing is not nearly as smooth
and legible as his wifes.
I think I started to scribble in
college, he said.
Nowadays, he sends emails to
former high-school classmates,
keeping them abreast of alumni
news. If I had to do it (with pen
and ink), he said. I dont think
I would.
But his wife, who maintained
her neat, legible penmanship
through years of writing patient
reports as a nurse, takes plea-
sure in cursive thank-you notes,
sympathy cards and birthday
wishes.
She hopes handwriting
doesnt become extinct, or as
rare as those old-fashioned desk-
top ink wells.
Its an extension of yourself,
she said. I enjoy receiving a
handwritten note, and so do my
friends.
Jean Mendrzycki, 75, of Nan-
ticoke echoes the sentiment.
Whether shes writing a note
to a supermarket owner to com-
pliment the worker who loaded
her heavy groceries in the trunk
or thanking a newspaper staffer
for some information, Mendr-
zycki writes in the graceful
letters the Bernardine Sisters
emphasized in her parochial
grade school.
We had double classes, and
when one class was working on
spelling or arithmetic, the other
class would use that time to
practice our penmanship, she
said.
To make the writing of each
letter even more of an event,
Mendrzycki uses stationery her
daughter, Ann Marie, made for
her in a 1983 shop class at John
S. Fine High School in Nanti-
coke.
I only have a few sheets left,
she said.
She uses it for such special
occasions as the time she wrote
to The Times Leader last year
to thank an editor for sending
her some information.
Its so refreshing, she wrote,
to find someone who will do a
little extra to make life nicer.
And just by writing that,
Mendrzycki did.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: A young
bride-to-be who
signed her letter
Touchy Decision in
Ohio (June 18) pre-
fers her stepdad walk
her down the aisle at
her wedding, but is
worried about what her biological fa-
ther (whom she sees once or twice a
year) and other relatives might think.
In my many decades on this earth,
especially during the last 10 or 15
years, I have seen all sorts of changes
in wedding etiquette, including the
customs governing who walks down
the aisle. In addition to fathers es-
corting daughters, Ive seen brothers
escort sisters and children walk their
mother to the altar. In Ohios case,
the logical solution, and the more
appropriate one, to me, would be to
have both gentlemen escort her down
the aisle, one on either side. What
could be lovelier?
The bride-to-be should consider
that the hurt feelings that often crop
up on sensitive occasions such as
this, if not attended to beforehand,
can tarnish the memory of the event
in the minds of loved ones forever.
Barb H. in Springfield, Mass.
Dear Barb: Thank you for your re-
sponse. Opinions regarding Ohios
letter are numerous and varied. A ma-
jority of those I heard from agree with
your suggestion that both dads share
the task. However, others viewed it
differently. My readers comment:
Dear Abby: If the biological father
wanted to be a part of his daughters
life he should have made more of an
effort to be there for her. The stepdad
no doubt put up with all the growing
pains associated with raising a teen-
ager. These are the prerequisites for
walking a daughter down the aisle.
Although most males can father a
child, not all of them can truly be a
FATHER.
Stepdad to a Wonderful Daughter
Dear Abby: I cant believe how ig-
norant, uncaring and selfish a bride
would be to dump her dad on her
wedding day. Everyone WILL notice
and everyone WILL care.
Ladies, unless your father is a total
loser who was absent, a drunk, a jail-
bird, an addict or a deadbeat, walking
you down the aisle is HIS privilege
no one elses. It also shouldnt be
based on how much money he was
able or willing to fork over for the
wedding. This is the day a real man
and father has looked forward to
since the day you were born.
And to any man who is asked to
escort a bride down the aisle: Before
agreeing, ask what her situation is
with her father.
Mary in Ohio
Dear Abby: My daughter wanted
her stepfather AND her biological
father to be part of her wedding. So
her stepdad (my husband) walked
her down the aisle to where I was
sitting in the first row. I stood up,
gave her my handkerchief and kissed
her cheek. Then her father stepped
out from the row behind me, and
her stepdad handed her over to her
father, who walked her the rest of the
way to the altar and gave her away.
Everyone was happy with this ami-
cable solution.
Joyce in Alabama

Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youre
an expert organizer. Youll
arrange your environment in
such a way as to make it easier
to keep clean and orderly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
anxiously await someones deci-
sion, which will affect future
events for you. Whatever answer
comes, theres an advantage in it
for you if you look for one.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
become deeply involved in a
group in the weeks to come. This
happens slowly as you partici-
pate in activities and learn more
about the history of the group
and its members.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
may tense up when you are
diverted from your plans this
afternoon. Tell yourself that its
all going to be fine and prob-
ably even better than what you
originally wanted. Relax and go
with the flow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will
enjoy the temporary reassign-
ment of certain roles in your life.
For instance, a sibling can be a
good friend to you, your children
can be your teachers, and your
inner critic can also be a won-
derful coach.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Collaboration is a tool for
creativity. So is conflict. So
when people try to get into
your business or cause trouble,
maybe it is the blessed event
that will inspire your greatest
masterpiece.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No mat-
ter how well you plan what
youre going to say, in the
moment, youll come up with
something unexpected. You
resist being a puppet, even if you
also happen to be the puppeteer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There
are two ways to improve your
family history. First, report it
in the best light possible. And
second, be aware that you are
creating it with your current
actions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll make up for past mistakes
with the good deeds you do
today. Youll be thoughtful, on
time and ready to chime in with
charming insights.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
love the feeling that anything
can happen. This morning, the
possibilities open up because
you make it known that you are
willing to take a spur-of-the-
moment risk.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
believe in unseen things like
wind, true love and the inherent
kindness of the human spirit.
Youll continually look for proof
of the existence of these forces
and others.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Instead
of merely fulfilling your obliga-
tion, you will think about how
your mood and attitude affect
others and will supply a good
dose of enthusiasm and generos-
ity of spirit.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 25).
Youll cultivate an appetite for
the finer things in life and will
attract many opportunities to
enjoy them. In September, you
will gain greater control over
your physical energy. Youll reach
a health-related goal by years
end. Taurus and Pisces people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 6, 29, 41, 35 and 3.
